Oh Romeo! - Green Bay Gets Got

In a true stunner, the Kansas City Chiefs, led by the formidable defensive mastery of former Pats defensive coordinator Romeo Crennel, have knocked off the heretofore invincible Green Bay Packers!


To give you a sense of just how dominant the Packers were heading into today, they had won 19 straight games, just 2 wins shy of tying the Patriots. Most astonishing is the fact they were never losing in the fourth quarter of any of those games. Had they gone undefeated and won the Super Bowl, I don't think many people would have been surprised. That they lost to the Chiefs is by far the bigger surprise.

Let's give Romeo some credit. For starters, he deactivated Tyler Palko and gave the newly healed Kyle Orton the starting gig - a ballsy move, especially considering that every fantasy owner on the planet knows that Orton is criminally underrated by NFL coaches. Also give some big ups to Tamba Hali for 3 sacks that helped induce Aaron Rodgers's worst completion percentage of the year.

Hali was on him like the FBI was on Sam Hurd.
The Pack Attack is still the most dangerous team in the league, and Rodgers is in the midst of a historically great year, but for now we can all indulge in some Nelson Muntz-esque trolling fun: ha-ha!
